The hotel is currently undergoing a £6 million improvement and development programme.

The site has a new health club, utilising the former neighbouring Falmouth Beach Hotel swimming pool and sauna, with gym and small spa area. That hotel burned down in 2012, with just the leisure facilities left virtually untouched and Nigel Carpenter, owner of St Michael's, bought the site two years later.

He had big plans to turn the entire area into a wellbeing destination with a new spa.

The spa will feature 11 treatment rooms and one of the largest hydrotherapy pools in the South West. There will also be a sauna, treatments including aroma steam and sea salt steam, heated loungers, an outdoor hot tub and a spa garden.

The former spa area in the main St Michael's Hotel building is currently closed and some work has begun.

Across the site, there will be three restaurants and bars all offering unique and different cuisine while capturing the very best of fresh Cornish produce.

No one from the hotel was available for comment this morning regarding the fire.
